Sanae reminds me so much of Homura before depression. Already best character just because of that.

Incredibly solid first episode. It exceeded my expectations by a large margin.

Not so engaging at first, but the last part got me a bit more interested.

huh, I really liked this actually. the characters were very cute, the animation was pretty decent, and the director did a good job despite the studio not having a lot of money for the Judo scenes. not painful to the eyes at the very least lol It made me really want to do Judo too, which I've never really thought about as a sport, but getting an Ippon win looked exciting.

looking forward the the 2nd episode for sure.

I like the art. It's grounded and the girls look a bit more realistic to what Japanese high-schoolers would look like.

But really, looking at the score, 6.78?
I know this is not shounen, it's niche, and not for everyone. But I still expect somewhere above 7.
At least half of the people on MAL don't deserve the quality of anime we are getting nowadays. Their monke brains can't properly appreciate it.
true lmao. then they complain about other sports anime being badly animated

This show is not SoL or CGDCT. It's literally a great sports shonen show. Stop underestimating it because of your fetishes.

People don't get dumb just because they don't like this show. But they're definitely getting dumber, thinking that this is another moe CGDCT just because it's all-female.

Now MAL is the official source in the genres, oh well. I also see that projection has become a popular "argument" among zoomers. Again, okay. That's just who wrote about cute girls and even for some reason compared it with an idol show. Seriously?

Eyyy this anime looks good! Glad I gave this a try! :D

I love judo and I've wanted to learn it. It's just that judo is absent in my country. Glad to see an anime about it. :>

Nice to have another girls sports aniime that seems to take itself at least a little seriously. I'm glad to stick around and see where it goes!

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

I like grappling based martial arts, I like anime. Grappling animes arent common due to the complexities of the sport. So seeing a judo anime makes me happy. The entirety of grappling is legitimately very underrated and underrepresented in anime it seems. Like most of you will see is "punch, head kick, deflect, block, punch, head kick" and at most one throw. Its uncommon for the mc to do a move that ends up controlling and "submitting a person". So seeing judo getting a little representation makes me hope we might get more open fights that isnt just, "punch head kick, parry, block, head kick"

I think MC is pretty annoying. But the other girls are really likeable.
Of course the art is awesome.
